a.
The Company, Telkomsel and seven other local operators are being investigated by The Commission for the Supervision of Business Competition “Komisi Pengawasan Persaingan
Usaha” or “KPPU” for allegations of SMS cartel practices. As a result of the investigations on June 17, 2008, KPPU found that the Company, Telkomsel and certain other local operators had
violated Law No. 5 year 1999 article 5 and charged the Company and Telkomsel in the amounts of Rp18 billion and Rp25 billion, respectively.
Management believes that there are no such cartel practices that led to a breach of prevailing regulations. Accordingly, the Company and Telkomsel filed an appeal with the Bandung District
Court and South Jakarta District Court on July 14, 2008 and July 11, 2008, respectively. Due to the filing of case by seven operators in various courts, the KPPU subsequently requested
the Supreme Court SC to consolidate the cases into the Central Jakarta District Court. Based on the SC’s decision letter dated April 12, 2011, the SC appointed the Central Jakarta District Court
to investigate and resolve the case. On May 27, 2015 Central Jakarta District Court decided to that the Company, Telkomsel and seven other local operators win this case.
